Table 1 Characteristics of the patients

From: High Ki67, Bax, and thymidylate synthase expression well correlates with response to chemoradiation therapy in locally advanced rectal cancers: proposal of a logistic model for prediction

CEA (mg/100 ml) (mean±s.d.) (n=60)

8.9±12.7

CA19-9 (ng/ml) (mean±s.d.) (n=60)

  1. s.d., standard deviation.
  2. Normal ranges of CEA and CA19-9 were <5 mg/100 ml and <37 ng/ml, respectively.
  3. Tumour size (based on double-contrast barium enema), clinical TN stage, and tumour markers were evaluated before chemoradiation therapy.
